My favorite among these would be the Buttery (19 Queen Street), but you may also want to check out the Carriage Inn Restaurant (245 King Street), the Shaw Café & Wine Bar (92 Queen Street), or for nice, cheap eats, the Stagecoach Family Restaurant (45 Queen Street). And after you’re done shopping there’s another reason to visit… Niagara-On-The-Lake has some amazing restaurants. When it comes to shopping there are a lot of great stores that sell anything you might want – from candy, cigars or clothes (including imported items from Scotland or Ireland), to art, books and kitchen goods.

As far as hotels go I’ve never stayed there, but there can be no doubt that the Prince Of Wales Hotel (6 Picton Street) is the cream of the crop. You can easily stop and stay here for the night if you don’t mind spending a bit on either a nice hotel or any one of a number of inns or bed & breakfasts, but even just for a couple of hours Niagara-On-The-Lake is well worth the time. The wine of choice is of course their amazing Icewine & Brandy that sells for $19.95.įrom there we went on to Niagara-On-The-Lake ( a stop I recommend to anyone heading into the Niagara region. Naturally, part of the trip takes you through wine country and you can’t go on a weekend getaway without at least one nice bottle of wine, so the first stop on the trip was at the Kittling Ridge Winery ( in Grimsby. During the fall it’s one of the nicest routes around this area and we caught almost all the leaves in full colour. Heading straight down the Queen Elizabeth Way is the quickest route to Niagara Falls from Toronto, but for a change I decided to take a longer route west along the 401 and down Guelph Line, which eventually meets back up with the Q.E.W. Getting There: While the goal was always to spend as much time as possible at the Fallsview, I decided to make a bit of a trip out of the visit. It’s inevitably a great trip for anyone looking to gamble a bit, see the scenery, and enjoy one of the nicest areas in Southern Ontario.

With that in mind I recently took a weekend trip through the Niagara region – ending with a stay at the Fallsview that I must admit, impressed me in almost every way. Staff writer Christopher Heard initially wrote about the experience when the facilities debuted to the media, but since then it seems people want to know more about what the hotel has to offer.

Since opening in June the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort has been a hot topic.
